Thailand's Supreme Court has called, on Wednesday, a meeting of the kingdom's top 3 judges, to consider nullifying the polls held earlier this month.

This meeting comes after Thailand's King, Bhumibol Adulyadej, urged the Supreme Court's 87 justices to resolve the political crisis that has been going on for a few months, and which drove Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra from office.

Jaran Phakdithanakul, secretary-general of the Supreme Court, said the 3 courts will work independently to deliberate the cases in a way that meets the expectations of the Thai public. The meeting of the judges of the Administrative, Supreme and Constitution Courts started at 10am at Criminal Court.

"Today's resolution will be by consensus and will be made in accordance with the king's advice", Supreme Court spokesman Virat Chinvinijkul stated. He added that the judges will make their decision regarding the "fairness and completeness" of the elections by as early as 1pm.

According to earlier reports, the judges have different opinions on how to rule on the April 2 election which will defuse the political crisis.

"If the election is voided, a new election date will have to be decided. If it is not nullified, the justices will decide what to do if parliament lacks a quorum of 500 seats", the spokesman said.

Thai law prevents parliament from convening until 500 seats are filled, but after two rounds of voting, 14 seats are still empty because the opposition has boycotted the elections.
